The Hercules series ultrafast lasers are designed to deliver outstanding performance for both scientific research and industrial applications. These lasers are available in three key wavelengths: 1030 nm, 515 nm, and 343 nm, offering excellent flexibility to meet the demands of diverse fields, from precision microfabrication to advanced spectroscopy.

With a high average power output of up to 80 W and an exceptionally wide repetition rate range from 1 Hz to 2 MHz, the Hercules lasers ensure both high throughput and operational versatility. This flexibility enables users to handle both low-frequency, high-energy pulses and high-frequency, moderate-energy pulses, catering to a wide range of experimental setups and industrial processes.

The Hercules series offers pulse durations under 600 femtoseconds, providing enhanced temporal resolution for time-sensitive processes. This makes the lasers ideal for applications requiring high precision, such as precision machining and nonlinear optical research.

The lasers maintain a high-quality TEM₀₀ mode with over 90% beam circularity, ensuring uniform, stable output. This results in improved experimental reliability and processing results, making the Hercules lasers a reliable tool for both scientific and industrial environments.

For applications requiring more complex control, the Hercules lasers support burst mode operation, which enables advanced modulation of pulse trains. This feature allows for greater flexibility in pulse shaping and temporal control, further expanding the laser’s potential in specialized applications.

Designed with a compact footprint and integrated water-cooling, the Hercules lasers offer excellent thermal stability and long-term operational reliability even at high power outputs. This design ensures that the lasers remain efficient and stable during extended periods of use.

The lasers offer multiple trigger options and linear external power control, allowing for seamless integration into existing systems. This ensures precise control over the laser output, making it easier to incorporate the lasers into complex experimental setups.

In conclusion, the Hercules series stands out as a robust and efficient ultrafast laser platform, offering the perfect balance of power, precision, and adaptability. It is an ideal choice for both research and industrial applications, providing the flexibility and reliability required for demanding tasks.
